A quick heads up - we post an updates article every day in the early afternoon, EST, to catch everyone up on how things are changing as a result of whatever news has come through. We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there! Stacking in DFS MLB is such an important concept if you’re looking to take down a big tournament on FanDuel or DraftKings. It’s also a good way to diversify cash games because the variance in baseball can mean wild swings (ahem) in the scoring on a particular slate. The concept is easy. You want to pile players from one or two teams into your lineups because those guys compound scores by helping each other score runs when the going is good. Pitching Targets Note- Clayton Kershaw and David Price were talked about on our daily picks article. Vincent Velasquez FD 9100 DK 10900 Opponent - ATL (Blair) Park - @ATLFD - 40.59 DK - 22.67 Don't want to pay up for Clayton Kershaw? Then Vincent Velasquez is your guy! He will be going up against the Braves, who have had trouble getting anything going on offense. Fun fact about the Braves offense: The Braves have hit a total of nine home runs this season; 11 MLB players have hit 10 or more homers this season. This shows you the struggles they have to hit for power, so this will help Velasquez and his 44.8 FB% out big-time! I know I've talked about the Braves' inabilities to hit for power, but they also own a .274 wOBA (30th in MLB) and 65 wRC+ (30th in MLB). This is the perfect matchup for the 23-year-old. Velasquez is a guy worth grabbing in all formats tonight. I mentioned the beautiful matchup he has, but he also presents your team with a ton of upside....

Pitching Targets Note- Jon Lester and Drew Smyly were talked about on our daily picks article. Adam Conley FD 8400 DK 7400 Opponent - MIL (Gonzalez) Park - @MIA FD - 33.31 DK - 17.4 Adam Conley will get the nod against the Brewers tonight, and I see the 25-year-old delivering another quality start for the Marlins. He has been stellar to open the 2016 campaign, as he owns a 3.01 ERA, 26.2 K% and 16.2 K-BB%. He has shown us the ability to fan hitters (which is great for tournaments), and has shown us that he is able to keep the walks down (which helps his pitch count and limits damage). He will be going up against the Brewers, who are in the middle of the pack against left-handed pitching. They own a .91 wRC+ (22nd in MLB), .726 OPS (16th in MLB) and .319 wOBA (14th in MLB). This isn't a matchup that jumps out to you on paper, but there is one thing I do love about his matchup against the Brewers, and that is there --...

Early Slate Pitching Target Jaime Garcia FD 8400 DK 9700 Opponent - PHI (Eickhoff) Park - @STL FD - 33.8 DK - 17.63 This is a small two-game slate, so I recommend not trying to get cute and just go with the best pitcher on the slate -- Jaime Garcia. He will be going up against the Phillies, who have struggled against left-handed pitching this year. They own a .251 wOBA (29th in MLB) and 49 wRC+ (29th in MLB), which shows their inabilities to get anything going on offense, when a southpaw is on the mound. How bad is 49 wRC+ and .251 wOBA you may ask... The league average for wRC+ is at 100 (Phillies are all the way at 49) and the league average for wOBA is .316 (Phillies are all the way at .251)! Hope that comparison helps a bit. Not only do they struggle creating runs, but they also have trouble putting the ball in play. They have a whooping 29.5 K% (highest in MLB) against left-handed pitching. The next worst K% is at 26.3% (Padres)....

Pitching Targets Jake Arrieta FD 12100 DK 12100 Opponent - PIT (Niese) Park - @PIT FD - 42.41 DK - 23.32 Our top cash-game play of the day is Jake Arrieta. He was dominant in 2015, and already has a no-hitter under his belt in 2016. Since 2015, Arrieta has been lights out with a 2.42 FIP (2nd in MLB), 26.8 K% (8th in MLB) and a 0.85 WHIP (T-1st in MLB). Not only has he been able to fan hitters and allow less than one walk/hit per inning, but he also owns a stellar 56.1 GB% (5th in MLB). This shows his ability to keep the ball low in the strike zone and force a lot of groundballs, which limits damage. The matchup isn't the prettiest for Arrieta, as he will be going up against the Pirates, but he will still do his thing and is the top cash-play game of the day. Matt Moore FD 7600 DK 8600 Opponent - LAD (Kazmir) Park - @TB FD - 27.24 DK - 13.74 Matt Moore is one of my top GPP...

You want to pile players from one or two teams into your lineups because those guys compound scores by helping each other score runs when the going is good. Stack Targets New York Mets vs. Mike Foltynewicz (Braves) Park - Citi Field Mike Foltynewicz has really struggled in the early going of his career, and I don't see things better for him tonight. He has a 5.05 FIP and 1.77 HR/9, which means he is allowing almost two homers per game. Foltynewicz has also struggled getting outs, as opposing hitters have a .306 AVG against him, which puts the Mets in a perfect position to do some damage. Now let's get to the bats I am looking to target against Foltynewicz. There isn't a clear-cut place to start with this Mets' lineup. A lot of these hitters hit right-handed pitching well, so I will look to see with which handiness of hitter Foltynewicz struggles with the most. And that is -- Left-handed batters. They have a career .401 wOBA and.582 SLG against him, so I will just start with Curtis Granderson, Neil Walker, Michael Conforto and Lucas Duda. These four left-handed bats will be hitting at the top of the order and will have plenty of opportunities to drive...
